If every time I felt bored I put a penny aside I�d probably be the richest person in the world. I am one of those totally annoying people who get bored quicker than you can say Pringles. So one day I got really bored and decided to try a new project: to collect 101 things to do when you�re bored. I don�t know if I�ll ever finish or if I�ll get bored in the middle. U can email me to express urself. So here goes nothing:

1. Start a diary: all you need is a pen, choose a colored pen to give the diary a personal feel, and a diary. I got a lovely blue diary (blue is my favorite color) with different colored pages inside. Whenever I feel bored I just start to write in it what I feel, or when I see a beautiful poem I just glue it in. Just get creative, if you don�t know how to put feelings into words draw them or stick pictures, anything your heart desires.
2. Call a friend: although this may not sound like fun but calling someone right out of the blue can make others really happy, in turn making you happy. Just smile when you pick up the phone and the other person will surely feel your smile in the phone.�
3. Clear out your magazines. Going through old magazines can be really fun. Especially when you see how much fashion changes and how today�s A-line skirt will be next weeks dirt rag.
4. Clean your room. Ok, I know I may sound like your mom but no clear it out your way. Get your walkman on play your favorite tunes, through away all the stuff you don�t use or even better give it away to someone who needs it. Clear your wardrobe take out any clothes you no longer wear, if it�s still usable but needs some livening up you can add some new funky buttons or a colourful collar.
5. Sleep. This is a personal favorite of my sister, when the going gets tough she goes to sleep.
6. Get coloring. Ok I Know it sounds babyish but trust me, all you need is some colors a paper and get creative, even if you just scribble you�ll feel better in the end�
7. Sing (very loudly) the silliest song you know. Even if it�s �99 bottles of beer� or whatever. If you really want to feel it stand up move your arms, wiggle your hips, move. Doing it with your pal makes it ten times as fun.
8. Dare to change. Try out the haircut you�ve been dying to try but didn�t have the guts. Try the funky nail polish you bought but never dared to try. If you only wear black try a bright yellow T-shirt.
9. Make a list of your favorite stuff. Try to think of 10 of your favorite smells, sights, items of clothing, friends, relatives, athletes, games, foods, �
10. Play solitaire scrabble. It�s exactly the same as the usual scrabble but you try to beat your past scores using only one rack of letters.
11. Write letters. If you have friends or relatives who live abroad or have moved and you lost touch, get out a pen and blue paper and write them a letter. It doesn�t matter if it�s been ages since you�ve been in touch but it will make both you and the receiver very happy and you may revive a new relationship. You can even join a pen-pal club to get more addresses. Or you can write letters to your self, put them in an envelope and post them it will be lots of fun when you receive them.
12. Pretend you are French or Italian. Speak in a funny accent and pretend that you don�t understand what people say.
13. Read. Get a book and read it from cover to cover even if it�s a children�s book.
14. Exercise. Exercise raises serotonin levels in your blood, which is the happy-hormone, so you get happy. It also makes you feel very refreshed and ready to tackle anything.
15. Write a letter to your favorite magazine telling them why you think they�re fab. Praise is one of those things that makes you happy when you give to other people.
16. Make funny faces. In front of a mirror or in front of your frien to see who can make the funniest face of all.
17. Pamper yourself. Take a bath using your fave bubble-bath. Get a manicure done. Eat a whole box of those terrific choccies. Anything you want really.
18. Daydream: About all the wonderful things that you can do in life.
19. Sort out your photos. Looking through your baby photos and seeing how dorky you were is so much fun. You can also make a family photo tree or a family photo history book.
20. Hold your breath. Try to see your maximum capacity.
21. Watch a movie in mute. Do I have to say more?
22. Dance up a storm. Blast up the hi-fi and dance away.
23. Try word games. Try to think of ten names in each letter. For example A: Amy, Anna, Amanda and so on till letter Z. You may think it's easy but wait till you get to U, X, W and Z.
24. Do the crossword puzzles in the paper. Ok, I know they are not the most interesting thing to do but at least they take up time.
25. Close your eyes and walk around the house. See if you can get around without breaking anything. No peeking.
26. Make a magazine keeper. They make wonderful gifts for your friends and you can also make them together, having even more fun.
27. Make prank phone calls. I know it�s a bad thing to do and that if your parents catch you they won�t be very happy. So you can just call your friends pretend that you are someone else and say weird stuff. At least that way even if you do get caught it�ll all be between friends.
28. Organize your CD or tape collection. Get them all out and get a piece of paper. Number them and write down the songs that are on them then put them back in order. If you have a computer you can do it on the computer.
29. Hug yourself. It�ll make you feel loved and being loved will make you feel just grrrrreat.
30. Count till 1,000,000. See if you can!
31. Count from 1,000,000 to 1 backwards. I don�t think you can.
32. Watch TV. Ok so maybe the people moving inside the black box that sits in your living room are not very interesting but you can watch in mute and practice your lip reading or sit on your head and see how much of the upside world you can take.
33. Rent a video. Choose a nice movie ( but not a mushy movie that�ll make you cry; unless you want to) comedy is the best choice usually.
34. Jump off a curb. You must think me nuts but it�s fun if you do it right. Imagine that it�s a cliff, close your eyes, take deep breath, jump!
35. Volunteer. Find a charity you support, try to help out, find out what you can do to aid the unfortunate. You�ll feel better.
36. Drink 2 liters of water. See if you can and then how much you will spend in the W.C.
37. Bake some cookies. Brownies are my favorite but they never seem to taste, smell or even look like the ones my mom makes. But so what yours may.
38. Make believe. Imagine you are an eagle or a wolf and go howling to the moon. Ask your imaginary pal to join you for a tea party. You can be whatever you want. See yourself 30lbs lighter, or see yourself as a star or doctor. Whatever your heart desire you can be. They say that if you can clearly visualize yourself there you can usually make it.
39. Make paper dolls. Get out you scissors and crayons. Make a fan using a piece of paper then cut out the figure of a doll. Color each one differently and presto you�ve got 4 or 5 lovely dolls holding hands.
40. Create a secret language. Devise your own code so that you can write secret stuff without having to worry if others see it or not. See how many you can make you can test them by letting your friends try to break the code.
41. Play dead. Lie on the floor with ketchup poured over your shirt (I'm sure your mom will kill you after she sees this so it will look realistic) and gag.
42. Play the itsy bitsy spider. Do the thumb movement but think of another song to sing.
43. Make a song collage. This is more fun with friends around. Everyone should think of their fave song, write a line from it, then put them all after each other, the more diverse the songs the finer the final result. Create a new melody or sing each line with it's melody and you'll get hilarious results. Better still record it on a tape and listen to it when you are bored.
44. Make a collection of your favorite songs on one tape. Be bold be courageous, so what if u still love those cheesy kids songs put them, just make sure no one gets their hands on your tape.
45. Have a fancy dress party. No you don't have to invite anyone over, just dress up and pretend to be someone else.
46. Act crazy. I don't know how u can do it but I'dprstand on a chair and sing the national anthem.
47. Maintain your computer. All of non-computer gurus skip this one, or u can learn how. Clear the hard disk of the files u no longer want, defrag and scandisk that kinda stuff.
48. ICQ. If u've got Internet access and u still haven't got it then u must be asleep or something. Get it at www.icq.com.
